As much as I enjoy working with our four legged companions, I equally enjoy working with people.

 

I often get asked these questions.

 

What is Herbal Medicine?

Nature offers a whole range of plant based medicines to those know how to use them, from nurturing tonic herbs to plants capable of helping you sleep, and herbs to boost your energy.

 

Herbal Medicine can help with common human conditions such as disorders of the nervous system, digestive system, skin and circulatory problems, immune system and hormonal imbalances, all of which are occur in our community.

 

What is a Medical Herbalist?

A Medical Herbalist is someone with an affinity for plants and herbs, and who uses them everyday for food and medicine.

 

Medical Herbalists prescribe and dispense plant medicines in a safe and effective way, seeking to treat the underlying cause of the problem, while acknowledging our innate ability to heal ourselves, prevent illness and restore health.

 

Medical Herbalists are trained in the principles and practice of western herbal medicine and medical science, and they take a holistic view towards health and illness. I am formally qualified (Diploma of Clinical Herbal Medicine) and a member of, and accredited by, the NZ Association of Medical Herbalists.

 

A Consultation with a Medical Herbalist

A consultation involves sitting with you for an hour or so, listening to your health and wellness stories, and then suggesting herbs you can take or changes to diet or lifestyle you can make.

 

We have herbs that nourish the wholeness and flexibility of each unique person and we use these in a range of forms such as extracted tinctures, formulated capsules and medicinal tea blends that enhance the healing potential for an array of human conditions

 

My aim is to help people feel healthier and stronger, so that you can discover health and wellness possibilities for yourself.
